  • Read the Journal
    Journal Jesse Bia Professor Peck ENG 252 2/5/2009 Introduction This journal is designed to be both objective and subjective at the same time. The focus of each entry is what I felt the Director’s vision for each particular show, was regardless of the previous histories of representation; the focus is on just the specific versions of the shows we have seen. Once laying out what I believe this vision to be, which is essentially my thesis, I then look at the various aspects of the show which contribute to or detract from the stated vision and goal for each production. Each entry is divided into four parts, the first three of which are meant to be object and thus written in a more academic matter, and last fourth meant to be subjective and thus written slightly less formally. These four parts are as follows: Overall Synopsis and Director’s Vision: In this section I briefly lay out and define what I feel the Director’s vision for the show, and what overall message the show was trying to deliver; essentially, what was the goal of the show itself. Setting: In the setting section I focus on the various sets, props, chronological placement (time in history in which show takes places), lighting, sound, music and even the actual theatre itself, to see how these physical aspects of the show contribute to the overall goal and vision of the show. Audience and Intention: Here I focus on two things. Firstly, who is this show designed for? Adults, children, or both? A certain nationality perhaps? Secondly, I focus on the actor’s performance, their stage directions, and the overall presenting of the play, to see how this contributes to the overall vision and goal of the show.

    Jan 15 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 161st birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Alan Bradley, co-author of MS. HOLMES OF BAKER STREET (2004), and author of the award-winning "Flavia de Luce" series; the title of his talk was "Ha! The Stars Are Out and the Wind Has Fallen" (his paper will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's Restaurant was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton and An- drew Joffe) entertained the audience with an updated version of "The Sher- lock Holmes Cable Network" (2000). The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Ser- pentine Muse last year: the winner (Jenn Eaker) received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17.

Orphaned at a young age, Jane is placed in the care of her wealthy aunt Mrs Reed, who neglects her in favour of her own three spoiled children. Jane is branded a liar, and Mrs Reed sends her to the grim and joyless Lowood School where she stays until she is 19. Determined to make the best of her life, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the alluring and unpredictable Edward Rochester. It is here that Jane’s journey into the world, and as a woman, begins. Writer Sandy Welch (North And South, Magnificent Seven), producer Diederick Santer (Shakespeare Retold – Much Ado About Nothing) and director Susanna White (Bleak House) join forces to bring this ever-popular tale of passion, colour, madness and gothic horror to BBC One. Producer Diederick Santer says: “Sandy’s brand-new adaptation brings to life Jane’s inner world with beauty, humour and, at times, great sadness. We hope that her original take on the story will be enjoyed as much by long- term fans of the book as by those who have never read it.” The serial also stars Francesca Annis as Lady Ingram, Christina Cole as Blanche Ingram, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs Fairfax, Pam Ferris as Grace Poole and Tara Fitzgerald as Mrs Reed.
